10 | Impending Motion: Friction and Tipping

At the end of this section you should be able to:

  1. Properly apply normal- and friction forces onto FBDs with interacting surfaces

    • Write proper equilibrium equations from the FBDs

  2. Find at what point a system will be on the verge of motion (from an applied force, moment, etc.)

    • Create additional sets of equations based on objects possibly slipping or tipping

  3. Determine if a system will be in motion or equilibrium under given parameters and conditions
